Men today

In modern days, men use backdoor methods,
To make their trek to stardom easier;
I wonder if worry takes on the Birds,
To make their lies, in a trice, cosier.

The faster you travel, more the danger!
Both men and machine can't withstand great speed;
The bullet wrecks more havoc than dagger;
On Earth, to certain laws, Man must pay heed.

Man may have broken the sound-barrier;
And may travel even faster than light;
He could have built an Aircraft-carrier,
But ought to know the limits of his might.
All things and man's senses have a limit;
The urge to break them, man must inhibit.
